Round 1 Poll 66: Game Myths

Team Fortress 2 submission:

That this image of a coconut, if removed from the files the game will not start. This is false, there is a coconut in the game files, but if removed it will just cause a missing texture on the Fresh Brewed Victory taunt. It was started as a joke from a YouTube comment and was taken as fact from there

Geneforge submission:

There is an un-openable door in the original version of Geneforge 1

[darthsuki]

Oh yeah, I'm totally normal about old niche isometric RPG games with a unique system of magic and themes of defying authority and arguing for the rights and dignity of the creatures created by said magic system, which is also undeniably corrupted but allows the player autonomy in making choices that either upholds the twisted status quo or works to tear it down piece by piece

Totally not related at all in any way but like.................. if that blurb above was interesting, then you should check out the Geneforge games!

You can get the entire original series (all five games) on GOG.com right now for like 15 bucks, or you can get the remastered version of the first game for 20!

Geneforge 1: Mutagen

I had a good time with Geneforge, as I do with all the Spiderworks games. It's always enthralling. When I first played the original, I prefered Geneforge's setting to Avernum, but now I think I'm leaning towards Avernum being the more compelling setting.

Going to be real playing a lolth-sworn drow is fucking fascinating. You're telling me my character can say the most insane evil shit in the world? Awesome. Time to trust strangers blindly and help anyone that needs it 😇

Get Geneforge 2 - Infestation: The Enhanced RPG Experience

Geneforge 2 - Infestation open-ended adventure game is playable on Linux via Proton with Windows PC and Mac. Thanks to the skilled team at Spiderweb Software for making this happen. Available on both Steam and GOG. If you're into RPGs and looking for something new to dive into, check this out: Geneforge 2 - Infestation has just landed on PC and Mac, and it's playable on Linux. This isn't just any release; it's a complete overhaul of the cult favorite "Geneforge 2" from 2003.

All of our games run well under WINE emulation. We’ve done it in the past, and I’m afraid they don’t sell.

Although Spiderweb Software doesn't offer native ports, their games are compatible with WINE, which extends to Proton too. It's a bit of a letdown not to have a native build, but at least there's a workaround for Linux players. The team at Spiderweb Software has gone all out here, expanding on the original into Geneforge 2 - Infestation. Along with added storylines, quests, and adventures, not to mention a slick, updated UI. But don't worry, they've kept all the elements that made fans like the original. It's all about striking that balance between the new and the nostalgic, and it looks like they've nailed it.

Geneforge 2 - Infestation Trailer

You get to play as Shapers, incredibly powerful wizards with the ability to create life. The twist? Your creations, once loyal, are now rebelling. Caught in the middle, you're faced with a huge decision: support the Shapers or join forces with the rebels. It's a complex setup that offers a ton of freedom in how you approach the situation. The enthusiasm for the Geneforge 2 - Infestation release is a given. A hugely successful Kickstarter campaign raised over $76,500, thanks to more than 1,500 backers. This support has allowed the developers to pack in even more content. We're talking about over 50 hours of playtime, multiple endings, and loads of replay potential. Whether you're into direct combat or prefer a more strategic, diplomatic approach, there's a playstyle for everyone. And choices matter here; they shape the world and your experience. Geneforge 2 - Infestation isn't just a simple touch-up; it's a full revamp with new areas, quests, characters, and dialogue. The team has reworked everything to bring it up to modern standards without losing the charm of the original. Jeff Vogel, the founder of Spiderweb Software, sums it up well. He's a veteran in the industry, and "Geneforge 2" is one of their biggest successes. According to him, the depth and variety in player choices. Such as being able to go through the entire thing without fighting. While making it stand out even two decades later. So, if you're on the hunt for a solid, old-school open-ended adventure game with a fantastic story and lots of freedom, Geneforge 2 - Infestation is definitely worth checking out. It's available right now Windows PC and Mac, but playable on Linux via Proton on Steam and GOG. Priced at $16.99 USD / £14.23 / 16,57€ with the 15% discount.

Geneforge 1: Mutagen

[inoppositionflorien]

Me, impatiently waiting for 2026, the probable release date for an as of yet unannounced Geneforge 3 remake, because even though it's generally considered the least of the series I quite like it actually and it introduces multiple characters who will be incredibly important in the later two games, and also the remakes have thus far done pretty well with slightly improving the story actually.

Anyway that's another game series people should play maybe. Originals and remakes, they're some of the older indie games out there, but are nonetheless quite good.

[cavalrycat]

I wanted to post a lot more but didn't get the time to draw more. whoops.

[medicinemane]

In other things that suck for me, I will once again lament how I can't play Dead Space despite thinking it's a master piece, not because it's too scary, but because having limited ammo paralyzes me with anxiety over wasting a single shot

Actually related, but I can't play Divinity: Origin Sin 2 despite adoring that game cause I get such bad decision paralysis

I played the hell out of the starter island during the beta or whatever it was, but once you get to the main world there's too many things that seem exclusive and just... the need to make the right choices and do things in the best order... it made it so I stopped playing

Neither of these is a critique of either game by the way, they're not wrong for these things, and in fact they're probably better for them... it's just a shame is all cause it means I have trouble playing them

Like they just happen to hit on stuff that makes my brain shut down and lose all focus

[the-ghost-of-jetstream-tormod]

I should play more Rimworld. And I only played the first 3-4 levels of Magicka, so I have no idea why it's on this list. Maybe I AFK'd super hard on accident.

What's your most played game then. Show

I was actually trying to figure out how to show more games on my list!

Looks like I can't fit quite as much as you can.

The black rut

Thank you @thelostprimarch for infecting me with this idea as well as @yestheantichrist for helping more with this idea aka planting the idea of a poor guardsman

tw: NSFW; dubious at best; most likely noncon; female reader

You broke from the line or rather what remained of the line after the astartes ran in. Your unit was decimated so at times with how spread out you were it felt like you were alone with the astartes and that made you feel blessed but also terrified. Like this moment now as the other Blood Angel had told you to run when his brother started acting funny. You curled up into a ball covering your mouth with your scarf and your hands as you try to calm down... nothing in the primer told you how to deal with this.

Your hearts seized as you could hear the snarling... pretty green eyes had turned red as his helm was just a partial one... leaving his eyes and the top of his head exposed. Short chocolate locks that curled at the ends... you think his laugh was melodic... you don't think you've ever seen anyone so beautiful, living, dead, even in paintings... You curled in on yourself as you could hear him slowly get closer.

You didn't understand what was going on... understand how fortuitous for this brother angel that the rage had turned into a rut... you didn't know that his brothers had allowed him to chase you down to help clear his head. The snarling sounded so close you slowly peaked up and there was blessedly nothing there... no he rushed you down from your left. The scream never had a chance to leave your throat as nearly a ton of geneforged muscle and ceremite was upon you and you were doing your best to keep your limbs in tact.

Your armor crumpled like wet paper in his hands as he ripped it free. You feel something break, you think, as his hand wrenches your lazgun away. You feel yourself curl in on yourself as you whimper to the Emperor as your trousers are torn away. It doesn't even register to you what is going on till the thud from his codpiece hitting the dirt and the bulge in his body glove just grinding hard between your legs. You hiccup as those heavy tears roll down your cheeks you think about screaming but you see the glazed look in his eyes as he just grinds against you... you're so afraid to make him mad...

You close your eyes just trying to not trigger the suddenly monstrous space marine. The material of his body glove and the heat causes you to feel something... the shame of being turned on by this... you wince as you remember your crushed armor and now missing weapon... you doubt the commissar is going to believe this. Your so caught up in your thoughts you dont feel or see for that matter, given how your eyes are closed, him pull himself out of his body glove. His cock throbbing with the pulse of a twin heartbeat.

The pain is what makes you thrash and kick as he forces himself into you deeply. You can't stop the screaming and the crying as you try and of course fail to stop him from moving. He's thick, not the thickest you've had but it still hurts for a man his size to move that deep inside of you. Your hair is grabbed, when did you lose your helmet, and your forced to look him in his eyes. You're staring at an animal and you can't help but cry.

It feels far too quickly... both merciful and shamefully quick for you to hear the wet fapping noise of your cunt swallowing his cock. The weeping turning into panting from you as you close your eyes to not look at the intense gaze from him. But that doesn't help you for when you feel him cum in you something goes wrong and you feel your sense of balance goes away... am I dying?

You learn latter after waking up on the battle barge that he had knocked you out... but isn't this how your life had always been? Never having say in anything. He tried his best to soothe you when you were told what was going on... no one caring that he was the cause of your distress and you had to swallow the fear and just accept the gentle arms now holding you as for what anyone knew... you were dead and you now served the lords angels. How grand.

if Geneforge released a few years later it'd be called Shaper Unleashed and if it released in the 2010s it'd just be called Shaper
